Every letter has a name and a song
Kindergarten is the year every letter gets a name. Kids learn to name all 26 capital and lowercase letters quickly and in any order, not just in alphabet-song order. They match each letter to its most common sound and start to find letters inside words, like spotting the m in "mom" twice. Tricky look-alikes such as b and d take extra practice. The click moment is when a child can point to a random letter on a cereal box and name it instantly.
Kindergartners learn letters best with music, movement and a little bit every day.
Introduce each letter with its own song. Kids sing, dance and trace the letter in the air. Hearing the name and sound over and over in a catchy tune helps it stick.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: in a well-known study, a few short sessions of a simple number board game measurably boosted young children's number skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).
Try it withLetter A Song - Shoot Your Arrow at the Letter ASongsOpen it →Instead of one letter per week with no review, play a few letter songs every day and revisit old letters often. Short, spread-out practice keeps every letter fresh.
Why it works: spreading practice out over days is one of the two most effective study methods in a major research review (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

By the end of kindergarten, children should know all 26 capital and lowercase letters and the most common sound for each.
That's very common. Mix up flash cards or point to letters in random order on signs and books so your child learns each letter on its own.
Keep it short and playful: sing letter songs, find letters on signs, and build letters with playdough. A few minutes every day works better than a long lesson.
Letter sounds, then blending sounds to read simple words like cat and dog.
